Ashley BarnhillSpringfield, VAEnglish Student
I've studied various types of literature since my freshman year of high school (i.e. novels, short stories, poetry, etc.). Thus, I know the intricacies of how they are generally structured and how to analyze their themes, characters, figurative devices, etc. I've analyzed written works such as F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Audre Lorde's poem "Power".
I'm currently an English major (3.6 GPA) in which I continuously read, annotate, and analyze literature. I'd teach my students all three (mainly the third one) with any literary work of their choice.
